Make clipboard work even in headless mode

The problem

Clipboard in Selenide work only in headful mode. We can make it work in headless mode as well by using JavaScript instead of java.awt.Toolkit.

To set clipboard content:

window.clipboardData.setData('key', 'value')

To get clipboard content:

window.clipboardData.getData('key')

NB! Method getData() asks for permission. Need to find the webdriver option to suppress this dialog.

I think it will help, it will accept all permissions got it from browserstack

DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
    // INIT CHROME OPTIONS
    ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
    Map<String, Object> prefs = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    Map<String, Object> profile = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    Map<String, Object> contentSettings = new HashMap<String, Object>();

    // SET CHROME OPTIONS
    // 0 - Default, 1 - Allow, 2 - Block
    contentSettings.put("notifications", 1);
    profile.put("managed_default_content_settings", contentSettings);
    prefs.put("profile", profile);
    options.setExperimentalOption("prefs", prefs);

    // SET CAPABILITY
    caps.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
